Although I liked 7 of the 8 nominated films - the Favourite was my favourite. And they spelled it right even if Bill Gates can't.

My main issue with the awards is that I am not sure quite how they pegged Olivia Coleman as best actress. I mean quality wise no problem but to me they screwed it all up. Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz were the leads and Coleman was the supporting actress to those two. If going by screen time.

There was no central protagonist and one could argue that all three were the central protagonist at different points of the film.

I just think all three should have been nominated for best actress or best supporting. But I guess the way they did this - they had a chance at two Oscars rather than 1.
